  16. Quitting my 1st RN job

    Horseshoe replied to Nori.Giselle's topic in General Nursing

    Horseshoe replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  21. Nursing student getting abuse from instructor

    Horseshoe replied to Nursingbabydoll's topic in General Students

    Was she really "yelling," or is yelling a word you chose to reflect that she was being critical? I've seen this word used repeatedly, then clarified as "well, not LITERALLY yelling at me" when...

    Horseshoe replied to Nori.Giselle's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a moderator? If not, why are you telling people what they may say or not say? There is no rule here that only "positive" comments are allowed. As long as people adhere to the TOS, they do...
